  1. I know of only two democratically-elect ed presidents and one military coup. Sheikh Sharif Ahmed is said to be the ninth president of the country. According to what I am reading, since the military regime was ousted in 1991, the country has gone through six president in just short 18 years. Of the six, none were elected by Somalis or in general election in Somalia and none were able to put an end to the civil war. Cabdiqasim of Carta Jabuuti. Cabdulaahi of Nairobi and Shariif of Jabuuti. Who are the other three?

     

    Any lessons learned about their failure? Their weakness in politics or clan affiliation played a role in the demise of their presidency? How many more presidents would it take to see the country some order and stability?


  2. ^Nicely done. The kid desperately needed to re-write the Araare battle.

     

    Kashafa: You forget to add 'Shaykh-ul-Soomaal Xasan Daahir Aweys' saved the Kacbah from Abraham, prophet Ibrahim from fire, Idriis from the whale, Mosa from the flooding sea.

     

    hallelujah Shaykh-ul-Soomaal Xasan Daahir Aweys -- say that out loud.

  4. MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somalia's hardline al Shabaab insurgents have beheaded two sheikhs from a rival Islamist movement, a spokesman for the Ahlu Sunna Waljamaca group said on Friday.

     

    The killings happened on Thursday, the same day al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden urged Somalis in an audio tape to topple the new president of the lawless Horn of Africa nation.

     

    Al Shabaab, which Washington accuses of having close ties to al Qaeda, has been battling rival Islamists from the Ahlu Sunna Waljamaca movement for control of central regions.

     

    An Ahlu Sunna spokesman said the two religious leaders had been injured by stray bullets during the clashes. He said they were later captured by al Shabaab gunmen as they were being driven to hospital in the capital.

     

    "Elders told al Shabaab that the sheikhs were not fighters, but they turned a deaf ear and beheaded them," Sheikh Abdullahi Sheikh Abu Yusuf, the spokesman, told Reuters.

     

    Yusuf said the killings took place in Balad town, 30 km (19 miles) north of Mogadishu. He also accused al Shabaab militants of decapitating three elderly women last weekend. Al Shabaab officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

     

    On Thursday, bin Laden urged Somalis to overthrow their new president, Sheikh Sharif Ahmed, a moderate Islamist elected this year in the 15th attempt to form a central government.

     

    But experts say bin Laden's message is unlikely to be heeded: al Qaeda's violent brand of militancy repels ordinary people and real hope now exists among many Somalis that Ahmed can end 18 years of chaos. [iD:nLJ970165]

     

    Violence in Somalia has killed more than 16,000 civilians since the start of 2007, uprooted more than a million and left about a third of the population depending on food aid.

     

    In a statement posted on their website, www.kataaib.infor, on Friday, al Shabaab welcomed bin Laden's support and again denounced Ahmed as the leader of a "non-Muslim" government.

     

    "May Allah bless and protect Sheikh Osama," it said. (Writing by Daniel Wallis; Editing by Katie Nguyen).

  5. Mid kamid ah Saraakiishii hoggaamineysay Ciidamada uu wato Barre Aadan Shire (Hiiraale) oo kusugan doolow ayaa lagu soo waramayaa in uu is soo dhiibay.

     

    Sarkaalkani oo lagu magacaabo Korneel Cabaas Ibraahim ayaa isku soo dhiibay Saraakiisha Alshabaab ee kusugan Gobolka Gedo kadib markii uu isaga soo tegay Doolow oo Ciidamada Barre Hiiraalena uu isaga soo baxay.

     

    Korneel Cabaas wax hadal ah ma uusan siinin saxaafadda lakin in uu isku soo dhiibay Xarakada Shabaab waxaa cadeeyay Mas’uuliyiin katirsan Xarakada oo kusugan Gobolka Gedo.

     

    La garanayo illaa iyo hadda sababta keentay in Cabaas uu isku soo dhiibo xarakada shabaabka, waxaana horey uu uga mid ahaa saraakiisha Barre Hiiraale uu hoggaaminayay ee doolow u cararay kadib markii Kismaayo iyo Gedo laga wada saaray iminkana abaabul dagaal ku maqnaa.

     

    Barre Hiiraale oo horey uu ugu shaqeyn jiray iminkana uu kula jiray dhanka Doolow ayaanan weli la hadlin saxaafadda kana warbixinin sababta keentay in laga soo goosto ama haddii ay jiraan waxyaabo kale oo sababay in Korneel Cabaas uu goosto.
